Is the shed on the slab & is this the floor of the shed? is the shed small than 8x10'
If yes to all, grinding can be done, but is a real hassle in that small space (we have done rooms worth of concrete grinding using both a small hand grinder we own & a large vacuum grinder rented from HD. both work, hand grinder is slow and unbelievable dusty, rental one works much faster & has ~ 1/4" clearance around the walls)
If the concrete surface is in a small shed, can you scrape up all of the disintegrated surface concrete & get to a solid surface? then you can use a thin setting top treatment (most are epoxy type ...much like the slab resurfacers use for the embossed resurfaced concrete.
Of course, another idea is just clean up as much of the surface as you can & place a surface covering like interlocking garage tiles or even horse/barn rubber mats over the slab (esp. if this is a smaller shed - these are available at Dells & Miranda).
